Changing Drive Letters

[drdumont]

In XP Pro, I have 3 HD partitions (C:, D:, and E, a CD Rom and a DVD Rom. I have changed the CD-Rom and DVD Rom to drive letters R: and S:. This works well for the session. However, every time XP reboots, it will leave the CD Rom designated as R: but change the DVD Rom to F:. I know dern well I fixed this problem on a PC some time ago, but cannot remember how. I thought it was a TWEAKUI feature, but this seems not to be the case. I'd appreciate any help you might offer, thanks in advance.

try this;

open TweakUI --> My computer --> Drives

this will bring up a list of all drive letters that can be and have been assigned, remove the checkmark beside drive letters you don't want assigned, in your case F:

right click my computer --> manage --> disk management --> right click your DVD drive --> choose assign drive letter (or something like that) --> change --> selct letter --> apply

i think this is correct. im doing this by memory. hth

That's not exactly how TweakUI works - removing the check only prevents that drive from being displayed in My Computer or any explorer type window.

rave - I assume that is how the OP is reassigning the letters - what we need to do is figure out why it's not "sticking" from session to session.

The only time my opticals revert is when I physically disconnect or reconnect them, or update my IDE drivers. That is normal behavior.
